Members of the Montgomery County Board of Education say information from the state's ongoing investigation into grade changing was kept from them, leading to their inability to gauge the extent of problems that have drawn the state's scrutiny.

Four board members and Montgomery Superintendent Barbara Thompson expressed surprise after the Alabama State Department of Education sent a scathing letter to Thompson that outlined numerous deficiencies within MPS, including improper grade changes, teacher intimidation and failures in leadership.
